Chapter 17: Lan Wanru Wants to Steal the Secret Recipe of Wufangzhai
Yan Yinxiao obviously came to take a dip in the ice spring to cure his heart ailments, but maybe it was because the moonlight was so intoxicating that he connived at her.
Lan Yunyi followed him and refused to go in front of him despite any words. Yan Yinxiao always felt a little weird. He lowered his eyes and looked behind him at Lan Yunyi's shadow under the moon.
Then he saw her holding the bag of the bamboo basket in her left hand, the bamboo basket swinging on her back, and she was also holding a sickle in her right hand.
The sickle is curved and has a crescent-like hook, which seems to be shining with cold light.
Yan Yinxiao felt a little chill down his spine.
He paused, slowed down, walked to Lan Yunyi's left hand side, and walked side by side with her.
Lan Yunyi looked at Yan Yinxiao's movements, pursed her lips into a straight line, and after thinking about it, changed the sickle to her left hand.
A tasteful labor force is not free, but you still need a few more eyes!
Yan Yinxiao:......
The two passed by the ice spring, and after walking a short distance, they reached the entrance of the cave that Pei Yan mentioned.
The scene around the cave is different from other places. The entrance to the cave is covered in rime and freezing, and the top of the entrance that can accommodate two people is covered with icicles.
Standing in front of the cave, you can still feel the cold wind blowing from inside.
The two looked at each other, and although they didn't speak, they both saw a hint of surprise in each other's eyes.
"There is such a miracle hidden in the capital, and no one has discovered it." Lan Yunyi rubbed her arms, entered the cave, and said curiously.
"Although it is in the capital, it is close to the suburbs. The terrain is high, and there is a cliff behind it. People who go up the mountain can only enter from the Qingyun Temple in front of the mountain. Naturally, there are very few people who can go up the mountain." Yan Yinxiao also bent down and entered.
Cave entrance, explained to her.
After hearing this, Lan Yunyi turned to look at him strangely and asked, "In that case, how did you get in?"
"Climb the wall and sneak into Qingyun Temple." In the cave of ice and snow, the young man's voice was cold and cold, with echoes.
Upon hearing this, Lan Yunyi calmly hugged the sickle handle tightly in her arms and chose to follow him side by side.
The wooden door of Qingyun Temple that was damaged by her knocking should be repaired.
After walking a few steps, the temperature inside the cave suddenly dropped. The two of them were wearing thin clothes, making it difficult to go deep.
Lan Yunyi slowly stopped, put down the backpack on her back, and roughly saw the scene in the cave clearly under the moonlight.
Surrounded by a world of ice, there are icicles, ice cones, ice waterfalls, ice flowers, crystal ice cubes, exquisite and clear, reflecting brilliant seven-color light under the moonlight.
Lan Yunyi's eyes widened, looking at the magnificent and spectacular scene in front of her, and she couldn't recover for a long time.
Seeing that there was no movement behind him, Yan Yinxiao turned his head and looked at her. Looking at her stunned look, the corner of his mouth curled up.
Feeling Yan Yinxiao's eyes, Lan Yunyi slowly reacted.
She spread the clean cloth in her backpack and held the sickle in both hands. Just as she was about to chop down the icicle, Yan Yinxiao held her hand.
The slender fingers completely wrapped her palm. It was obviously cold in the cave, but his fingertips were warm, making her feel that her whole body was burning for no reason.
"I come."
A magnetic voice sounded from her head, and Yan Yinxiao walked behind her at some point. She even thought she could feel the rise and fall of Yan Yinxiao's chest.
Lan Yunyi's body trembled.
The movement of her hand paused, then she stepped out from between him and the icicle, and handed the sickle to him in a good-natured manner.
Yan Yinxiao did it extremely fast, with smooth movements. When he swung the sickle, the veins in his neck popped out and his Adam's apple rolled.
However, half of the backpack was filled with ice cubes cut in just a moment.
"That's enough, that's enough!"
Lan Yunyi lifted the bamboo basket with both hands, shook it hard, and then put the basket back on her back.
Yan Yinxiao looked at the sickle in his hand and raised his eyebrows, feeling a little curious.
He followed her slowly, casually carrying the bamboo basket on Lan Yunyi's back with one hand, which immediately lightened the weight on her body.
"You came here to steal ice cubes in the middle of the night. Where are you going?"
"I'm going back to the Taoist Temple." Lan Yunyi felt that the weight on her back suddenly became lighter, and looked back in confusion.
"Go back to the Taoist temple? I will throw it away after using it?" Yan Yinxiao slowly stopped, still holding the bamboo basket in his hand, his eyebrows slightly raised, and he looked at her steadily.
"Hey!"
Lan Yunyi couldn't move after being dragged like this. She turned to look at Yan Yinxiao.
I saw him crossing his chest with his hands, looking questioning, and then slowly opened his mouth to explain.
"No, no! Just to thank you, I want to go back and make an ice drink for you to try. This is the only one in the world!"
"oh?"
Lan Yunyi felt his suspicious gaze and nodded vigorously.
She wasn't sure whether the ice in the cave was clean. Her senior brother's internal injuries were not fully healed, so she couldn't bear to part with him; her junior uncle was also old and had bad gastrointestinal problems, so he couldn't do it either.
As for the man in front of me, he seemed to be well-off and strong. He traveled all over the country when he was young and had a bad taste. Even if he was eaten to a bad stomach and spent half of the night in a hut, he would probably not die.
It is naturally best to use him as a test subject.
When Lan Yunyi thought of this, she couldn't help but grinned and showed a friendly smile.

Blue Mansion.
Inviting Lotus Pavilion.
Lan Wanru was sitting on the bed, listening to Qiaodie's report. Her usually pale face was now clouded with bloodthirsty, and her vicious eyes seemed to be eating people alive.
"You said that Lan Yunyi took the land deed to Wufangzhai and sold Ma Shixian?" Her voice was a bit sharp because of her anger.
"Yes, all the shops under her are currently closed for rectification, and I don't know what they are going to do." Qiaodie lowered her head, not daring to look at Lan Wanru's face.
"What an idiot! He actually closed down Wufangzhai, which was making a lot of money every day..." Lan Wanru sneered, with a sarcastic look on her face.
"You secretly bought Ma Shixian from Ren Yazi at a high price." Lan Wanru thought for a moment and then came up with an idea.
"Since her Wufangzhai is closed for rectification, I will build a new Wufangzhai before she opens it. I don't believe they want to buy cakes from that bitch instead of me!"
"Miss...you want to open another Wufangzhai opposite her shop? How can we make such beautiful pastries?"
When Qiaodie heard Lan Wanru's plan, her eyes widened in disbelief.
Lan Wanru glared at her impatiently and said, "Go and bribe the cook of Wufangzhai privately, copy her secret recipe, and then buy all the waiters in her shop at a high price, so that her shop will be
If it becomes a fake, I am the original!"
"It's just Miss. Now that Lan Mansion doesn't have Lan Yunyi's support, we also have no source of money. I'm afraid we won't be able to do it with just the monthly income." Qiao Die was still a little embarrassed.
The Wufangzhai was built by Lan Yunyi herself. Now that my lady wants to build an identical one opposite her shop, can she win her business?
"I still have some private money right now, and it's time to put it to use. As long as we destroy Lan Yunyi's shop, won't I be the one to set the price of pastries in Beijing? Then what is this little money now? I will
There will be endless money!”
Lan Wanru raised her head slightly. Although she looked sick in front of others, she looked as arrogant as a peacock, with determination written all over her face.
This time, she must defeat Lan Yunyi! This chapter has been completed!
